The Dräger Polytron Pulsar is the latest infrared technology inopen path gas detection, capable of detecting a wide range ofgaseous hydrocarbons. These include the alkane series frommethane to hexane, propylene, methanol, ethanol and ethylene.
SIMPLE TO ALIGN AND COMMISSION
One person can easily align and commis-sion the system without the need for spe-cial training or skills. No telescope oralignment mirrors are needed for theinstallation over any distance. After an ini-tial coarse adjustment by eye, a hand heldterminal provides separate “radar” dis-plays of the Transmitter and Receiveralignments. This makes it easy to optimisethe adjustment for maximum signalstrength.
The built-in calibration of the Dräger Poly-tron Pulsar does not need any manualadjustment or standard test gas. After thealignment procedure is finished a self-zeroing sequence is started to completethe commissioning of the system. Theparameters about alignment and signalstrength are logged and will be used todetermine any future misalignment orbuild up of deposits on the optical lenses.
INCREASED PERFORMANCE
Continuous communication betweenReceiver and Transmitter across a signalline allows the system to adapt to difficultenvironmental conditions and ensurehighest availability. The high power xenonlamps combined with a sophisticated
algorithm which varies their intensity andfrequency makes the Dräger Polytron Pul-sar immune to influences from solar radia-tion, stack flares, arc-welding or reso-nance effects associated with the vibra-tion from rotating machinery, as well asenvironmental changes along the beamlike fog, mist, and snow. A higher flash rateis also triggered by the first indication ofgas, allowing a fully validated gas readingalong with a reduced response time.
FAILSAFE
The detector is designed so that no faultcan go undetected. In normal operationthe output signal is 4 to 20 mA, depend-ing on the gas concentration measured.Whereas a signal of < 1 mA indicates afault and a signal of 2 mA indicates a beamblockage. In addition a continuous self-test of the Dräger Polytron Pulsar willissue a pre-warning signal of 3.5 mAwhere the detector is still operational butrequires some attention – for examplewhen there is a build up of deposits onthe optics, or misalignment of the trans-mitter or receiver. This way maintenancecan be scheduled without downtime. TheDräger Polytron Pulsar carries a SafetyIntegrity Level rating of 2 (SIL 2).

HEATED OPTICS
Controlled internal heating of the opticallenses prevent the formation of ice andbuild up of snow on the optics even undersevere weather conditions. It also elimi-nates condensation build up on the lens-es.
BUILT-IN DATA LOGGER
An internal data-logger keeps a detailedrecord for the previous 7 days of opera-tion, and consolidated records for the pre-vious 32 weeks. These logs include suchessential information as actual readings,events like “beam block” and gas alarms,warning flags, signal strength, alignment,supply voltage and internal temperature.

THE HAND HELD TERMINAL
The hand held terminal (HHT) is a robustweatherproof unit, certified for use in ahazardous, classified area. The terminal isused to align and zero the Dräger PolytronPulsar transmitter and receiver, and to pro-vide configuration and diagnostic func-tions. More comprehensive diagnosticsare provided in conjunction with theDräger Polytron Pulsar PC software and apersonal computer located in the non-haz-ardous area, when using the AI500 digitalinterface.
